Honeybee Propolis with Elderberry
Nutrients for Health by W.T. Rawleigh
Overview
The supplement combines Bee Propolis and Elderberry Fruit Extract, both of which have scientific backing for immune support and anti-inflammatory effects. However, the use of a "Proprietary Blend" with a total dose of 500mg, without disclosing individual ingredient amounts, makes it impossible to determine if clinically effective doses of propolis and elderberry are present. Honey granules, carob powder, and anise powder are included but their contribution to the stated benefits or optimal dosing for significant impact is unclear.

Elderberry has strong evidence for reducing cold/flu symptoms.
Bee propolis demonstrates anti-inflammatory properties.
The Bad

Uncertainty if key ingredients (propolis, elderberry) are at clinically effective levels.
Risk of allergic reactions for individuals sensitive to bee products.
Is it for you?
